Letters Patent No. 108,679, dated October 25, 1870.

4|MPROVE-N|ENT IN DETACHABLV-lV-'IPPED WHPS.

The Sobedulcreferxed to in these Letters Patent and'making parl'. of the same.

To allvhom t't may concern:

Be it known that I, PARDO): BOYDEN, of' Amsterdam, in the county ot' Montgomery and in the Stateof New York, have invented certain new andnseful 1mprovements in Ferrule for Fastening Whip-Tips and Splicing Fishing-Rods; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof', reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of an improved whip, as will be more fully hereinafter set forli.

ln order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and oper-ation, referring to the annexed drawing, -in

which-m v Figure l is a longitudinal vertical section, and Figure 2 isa side view. My invention is made of met-al, wood, hardened rubber, bone, ivory,- or of any material capable of' be ing worked into the shape and used for the purpose desired.

A represents the under tube ori'errule, wrought into a conical form and shape, so as to vfit the size and shape of the whip-tip or rod over Iwhich it'is used.. l

On the outer surface, at the lower or larger end of this tube or under ferru'le, I have. cut a screw-thread for a distance thereon deemed necessary, and that part of such tube or under ferrnle around which the screw-thread is cnt has slots or sections cut out on the sides thereof, as shown in fig. 2, for the purpose of `giving a clasp effect upon the end of the stalk inserted, after the outer or over ferrule is screwed on.

This under tube or fcrrnlc A is crowded down over the whip-tip or fishing-rod B-f'rom the top to the butt of said tip or rod, permitting the butt or larger end of the under fe'rrnle, on which the screw is eut,to project sniciently over the butt-end of the whip-tip or Vrod to receive the tip-end of the next part or stalk of -short ferrule D is put onto the whip-tip B, and run down over the same ytill-it meets the butt or screwsurface of the under fel-rule, upon which it is securely fastened by turningr the screwstogether with the hand. v

' My invention is as applicable to fishing-rods as to whips; hence I do not w-ished to be 'confined to the one or the other.

I am aware that the combination of a slotted ferrule,

with -an exterior screw-thread, with an outside nut, is

not new; hence I do not broadly claim such to be my invention.

- An improved whip, when the tip is secured to the lower joint by the elongated tapering tube A, with slotted end and exterior screw-threads, and the inner threaded ferrule I), all as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand this 25th day of June, 1870. Y
